5 The Man Who Failed at Everything

What happens when someone fails… again and again and again? Not the kind of failure that makes a good motivational quote. The real kind. The kind that leaves people shaking their heads and wondering if you should just give up. In this episode, we tell the story of a man who seemed to fail at nearly everything he tried. Business ventures collapsed. Opportunities slipped through his fingers. By most standards, his life looked like a long string of disappointments. And yet… history remembers him very differently. Because sometimes the story isn’t about how many times someone falls short. Sometimes it’s about what happens when they refuse to stop trying. And as it turns out, failure has a funny way of rewriting the ending. After all… it’s funny how things work out.
